The Emperor Is Searching

Nena eyes close tightly as she struggles painfully in her dreams, she keeps tossing and murmuring things in panic and she's also sweating.

This isn't the first time Nena has a bad dream, she has this dreams everyday so the Kumara's are used to it, but what they aren't used to is this sorrowful m.o.a.ning coming out of her mouth and so when they heard it, they know something is wrong.

And she's speaking in her language.

"I definitely heard her yelling and she seems to be crying too." Dakota said to her brother and parents who are now gathering in the parlour, they too heard the crying.

"Hye-kyo, please hold on to the rubber tightly, don't let go." Nena whispered frighteningly while asleep. 

"What should we do?" Dakota asked worriedly.

"She have told us to stop coming, she will feel sad if she knows she disturbed our sleep again." Kanniea replied and this made Dekota become more anxious. She can't go back to sleep knowing Nena is disturbed but then again Nena has told them not to come and she's always sad whenever she sees them up because of her nightmares.

"I can't, I can't leave her there all alone." Dakota said softly and then she begins to head towards Nena's room but her brother stopped her.

She turned to look at him. "Let's go together." He said and the two of them walked to Nena's room.

When they got there they found Nena still tossing and whispering "Hye-kyo" continuously. 

Dakota rushed to her and pull her to her body will calling her name. 

"Nena wake up, it's just a nightmare ..please wake up." Dakota said softly and then she began to cry when she feels Nena body trembling. 

"She's suffering." She turned her head and whisper to her brother who's standing behind her.

They know Nena's dreams aren't just nightmares, they know it has something to do with her past, most especially her memory lost. 

They watch her each day she wakes up, her face as pale as paper but she never tells. 

She says she forgot.

Ximnam tap Dakota on the back when he saw Nena open her eyes and closed it immediately she saw them. Dakota look up at him inquiringly and he point at Nena. "She's awake" he mouthed.

Dakota lay Nena back on the mat properly and then she sits beside her, her hand patting her hair gentle.

"Who's Hye-kyo." She asked

Silence

Dakota sign but still kept comforting Nena. "Nena I care about you and you stressing over something stresses me too. I want to understand you and also help you heal, if you remember anything ..please let me know. Talk to me or I will be stressed and you know it's not good for our baby." 

Nena look up at her. "I couldn't stop it, I want it to stop, to go away so badly. It hurts, why can't It just stop? Why do I see her face all the time..' Nena sniffed. ' It's terrible sister.

It's really terrible and it's haunting me and hurting me at the same time, its as if I could feel her pain and she died while holding unto me." Nena explained, her face as pale as a paper. She pulled away from her sister's embrace and sit down properly on her mat.

"I'm sorry I woke you ..." She began to explain but Dakota and Ximnam shut her up at the same time.

Ximnam squat down to their level and take hold of Nana's hand. "Angel face, I've always told you never to apologize and even though you woke us up, we're happy to be here with you.. We're families now Ne and I hope that soon you'll trust us enough to share your fears with us because we will be glad to share your troubles with you, I especially."

Nena place her left hand on her and her brother already joined ones. "I swear to you I don't remember much anytime I wake up. All I know is that It hurts and it makes me feel very terrified, but I really don't remember." 

She said each words looking at her siblings faces with the most confused and sincere look ever.

"Please tell us what you remember." Dakota plead.

Nena looks at her then at her feet, her eyes sad. "Anytime I close my eyes .. I..I just see this girl's face, we are inside a huge river  ..just the two of us and we are so cold and then the girl dies on me. It's true that I don't want to remember but that all I see. I swear."
